UPDATED: First Commonwealth Bank Robbed Tuesday Afternoon

A white man in his mid-30s to early 40s walked into the in Regent Square Tuesday, handed a note to a teller demanding $500 and fled with the cash, Edgewood Police Chief Robert Payne said.

The crime occurred about 1:30 p.m. Police said the man handed a note to a teller which read, "I don't want to kill anyone." He is described as having "scruffy looking white facial hair but not a full beard."

The teller read the note and gave the man $100 bills.

"The male was dressed in a blue hoodie and it looks like he had a white ball cap on, blue jeans and white tennis shoes," he said. "After the money was handed over, he walked out of the bank and left heading down South Braddock Avenue."

Police from Edgewood, Swissvale, Pittsburgh and Wilkinsburg flooded the area, searching for the suspect who ran from the bank.

"We got a report of a lone white male running through the alley and backyards on Biddle Avenue in Wilkinsburg," Payne said. "Officers went to that area and we found the suspect's hoodie that he discarded in the general area."

Payne then called in the Allegheny County Police and the FBI.

"They reviewed surveillance and it's been turned over to them," Payne said.
